Players may create Ancient Items with an [http://wiki.infinitymu.net/index.php/Item_Options_and_Descriptions#Excellent_Options Excellent Option] in game. These items are called in game as Semi Uber Items. The difference it has (or doesn't have) with Uber Set Items is that Uber Sets are Ancient Items with Full Options, while Semi Ubers are Ancient Items that are limited to only one Excellent Option.

== Acquisition ==
 
There are many ways to acquire the base item. However, there are only two popular methods that are worth mentioning.
 
 
 
So we will acquire an Excellent Guardian Helm with Damage Decrease 4% and Luck if possible.
 
 
 
*The first and the cheapest but could be a time consuming way is to drop Box of Kunduns which you can buy from [[Amy the Potion Girl]]. This could be time consuming the fact that the items given by the boxes are random and you might not get your desired Excellent Option.
 
 
 
*The second and one that's most preferred by the community is just buying the item off the [https://www.infinitymu.net/webshop/ Webshop]. This way, you may choose right away which Excellent Option you want. While you're at it, you might as well add Luck as this will save you the trouble later.
 
[[File:Guardian Helm Webshop.jpg]]
 
 
 
Also it is worth mentioning that [[Jewel of Excellent]] can be used to add a random Excellent Option to an item while [[Jewel of Luck]] adds Luck. For weapons that are eligible to have weapon skills, [[Jewel of Skill]] is it's corresponding jewel that adds skills. These are jewels that can be acquired in game by joining [https://wiki.infinitymu.net/index.php?title=Events_Schedule Hourly and Automated Events].
 
 
 
You finally got the item. It should look like this for now:
 
 
 
[[File:Guardian Helm Prep 1.jpg]]
 
 
 
 
 
== Prepping ==
 
There are still things that must be done in order to create that perfect Semi Uber Item. The following can be done in any order however it is best advised to just follow these steps as it's already been tested.
 
 
 
*First, upgrade it to +13. Self explanatory. If you don't know how to, ask anyone in game and they would be glad to help. ''Must be done in order to unlock desired yellow option.''
 
 
 
*Second, drop x7 (max) Jewel of Life onto the item. You can buy these from Amy the Potion Girl. ''This can be done later.''
 
 
 
*Third, add your desired Harmony (Yellow Option) to the item. To do this, drop a Jewel of Harmony onto the item. You can buy Jewel of Harmony from Amy the Potion Girl. If the resulting Yellow Option isn't what you have in mind, head to Aida and look for the NPC [[Jeridon]]. Simply give him the item and he will remove the Y/O for you. ''This is a must since the only way to change yellow options once it becomes a Semi Uber Item is to spend Gold Credits in the Webshop.''
 
 
 
At this point, the helm is ready for the last step:
 
 
 
[[File:Guardian Helm Prep 2.jpg]]
 
 
 
 
 
== Final Step ==
 
The most important item in this process is the [[Jewel of Ancient]]. Acquiring it is similar to acquiring Jewel of Excellent and Jewel of Luck.
 
 
 
[[File:Jewelofancient.png]]
 
 
 
To attempt turning the item into a Semi Uber, simply drop the Jewel of Ancient onto it. Do note that applying a Jewel of Ancient will not succeed 100% of the time. Base success rate is 50%, and if the item has Luck (+25%) then the success rate is 75%. If it fails after the second or the third try, wait about 10 minutes or so and try again. Also try doing it with another character, or even try switching servers. If it succeeds, the item is now a Semi Uber and should look like this:
 
 
 
[[File:Semi Uber Ahruan Guardian Helm.jpg]]
 
 
 
Congratulations! The creation of Semi Uber Ahruan Guardian Helm is now complete.
 
 
 
 
 
== Myth ==
 
There is a myth on how to manipulate success rate however this hasn't been confirmed by the Administration.
 
 
 
Since Jewel of Excellent is considered a high end jewel, it is said that there is a way to save it instead of losing it by failing. A lower end jewel called [[Jewel of Skill]] which basically adds skills to weapon-skill-eligible weapons would tell if the next Jewel of Ancient used will succeed. Basically, if one adds a weapon skill to a random weapon by using Jewel of Skill and fails, the Jewel of Ancient will fail as well. And if it succeeds, you will have a small window of time to apply Jewel of Ancients in case you're doing multiple item/set parts and they will all succeed.

The Goal: Semi Uber
Crafting Semi Uber Items
Play-To-Win Arsenal
What is a "Semi Uber"?
A Semi Uber is an Ancient Item that also possesses Excellent Options. They are the ultimate "Play-to-Win" alternative to Full Uber items, achievable purely through in-game effort and strategic jewel crafting.

🎥 Official Video Tutorial

Step 1: Acquisition

Your first goal is to obtain a standard Excellent Item with the specific option you want. For this guide, our target is an Excellent Guardian Helm (with Luck) containing the recommended option: Damage Decrease +4%.
⚔️ 1. Hunting
Hunt Box of Kundun (For sale by Amy the Potion Girl or Golden Invasions). Throw boxes until the desired item drops with the correct options.
Pros: Completely Free
Cons: Time Consuming (RNG based)
🛒 2. WebShop
Buy the specific item + Option + Luck directly from the Webshop.
Pros: Instant & Precise
Cons: Costs WebShop Credits
Tip: You can also use a Jewel of Excellent to manually add options to a normal item, or a Jewel of Luck to add the Luck attribute.

Step 2: Preparation (Crucial)

Before turning the item Ancient, you must prepare it. Follow this exact order to save time and precious resources:
  1. Upgrade to +13: Essential to unlock the Harmony option slot.
  2. Add Jewel of Life: Upgrade the item to +28 additional defense (Max).
  3. Add Harmony (Yellow Option):
    • Use a Jewel of Harmony to add a yellow option.
    • Don't like the option? Remove it at NPC Jerridon (Aida) and try again.
⚠️ IMPORTANT
It is highly recommended to get your perfect Yellow Option before the next step. If you make the item Ancient first, you must use a Jewel of Extraction to remove a bad yellow option, and a Jewel of Ancient Harmony to add a new one. This is expensive!

The Final Application
To transform the item, simply drag and drop the Jewel of Ancient onto your fully prepared Excellent Item in your inventory.
Base Rate
50%
With Luck
75%
Outcomes:
✔️ Success: The item becomes a Semi Uber Ancient. It keeps its Excellent Options, Luck, and Harmony perfectly intact.
❌ Failure: The Jewel of Ancient disappears. The item remains safe and is not destroyed.
Cool-down Tip: If you fail 2-3 times in a row, wait 10 minutes or switch servers before trying again.

Community Theory: "The Skill Glitch"

🔮 The RNG Prediction Theory
Disclaimer: This is a player-discovered theory and is not officially confirmed by Administration. Use at your own discretion.
Some veteran players believe you can predict the success of a Jewel of Ancient by testing the server's RNG using a cheaper jewel first: the Jewel of Skill.
  1. Find a throw-away weapon.
  2. Apply a Jewel of Skill.
    • If the Skill Jewel FAILS: The RNG is "bad." Do not use your Jewel of Ancient yet.
    • If the Skill Jewel SUCCEEDS: The RNG is "good." Quickly apply your Jewel of Ancient to your main item.

Why Build Semi Ubers?

The Core of Play-to-Win
Semi Uber sets are the heart of InfinityMU's Play-to-Win philosophy. While Full Uber (Donor) sets have the absolute advantage of possessing "Reflect Damage" and "Defense Success" simultaneously, a meticulously crafted Semi Uber set allows non-donors to compete at an incredibly high level in PvP.
